The continued attack on women’s rights and health

November 14, 2013

A group of lawmakers in the Senate took their attacks on women's rights a step further last week when Senator Lindsey Graham introduced an extreme bill that would severely limit women’s ability to access quality reproductive care.

Senator Graham’s bill would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, with only limited exceptions to save the woman’s life or in cases of rape or incest. These types of bans ignore the medical reality that it is not until at or around 20 weeks that doctors are able to discover many potential difficulties during pregnancy.

A recent poll found that 60% of registered voters oppose this measure. That’s because the majority of Americans trust women to make the deeply personal and difficult decisions about their pregnancies in consultation with their families and their doctors.

This kind of attack on women's rights won't stop unless we say we won't stand for it. Add your name to stand with women.
